I will only go back to Australia for medical care I can't get here, or if it's cheaper to fly there than have surgery here.

 

I have a better quality of life here than I do in Australia.

 

15 years here.

You spent 10 whining about Trump.

There is always one...

No matter what I post, there is always ONE person who is confused.
I could post "Today is Friday" and I believe that person would still be confused.

 

I posted this a day or two ago. Several people either agreed, liked, or appreciated.  And of course, one person was confused.

Hey, if you send me a private message each time I confuse you, I'll be happy to explain. It seems to happen to you often.

Thank God there are still some independent thinkers who do not need to blindly follow a Cult leader.

I thought about that...  but I think I'm glad that I don't know who it is. I'd feel too bad for him/her. It's hard being that confused.

How much are you getting paid for this?

In typical MAGA style, you completely avoid answering the question and instead make some inane comment.

But I understand.  🙂

The fact that you can't count means you're an idiot.

I think 'hate' is too strong a word as well.
35 years away from the US, I don't hate 'America.' I do hate what is happening TO America.
But... on the plus side, being away from the US, living in various countries, gives one a very different perspective about just what the 'United States' really stands for. These days, not very much still holds to 'American' values.
The 'America' that I grew up in is gone.

amen to that!

I don't. I think it's weird that 70yos think they are achieving something.

They are probably achieving a hell of a lot more than a pointless keyboard warrior like you.

The literal answer is that I lived in Korea for 3+ years in the late 80s. I was fluent in the language, courtesy of the US Army.
